Just because you trained at one of the "big 3" integrated schools does not necessarily make you "high quality". It merely means you had the ability to pay for the course and that you managed to pass...

I think only a small part of the allowances are tax-free, the duty pay (£2.xxph) perhaps? I was under the impression that flying pay (£9ph) is taxed. I'm sure someone on the inside can correct me!
